California Judicial Performance Evaluation

The California Judicial Performance Evaluation (JPE) is a process that assesses the performance of judges and justices through feedback from lawyers, litigants, and other legal professionals. Conducted periodically, it aims to provide transparency and support informed voting in judicial elections by offering objective insights into a judge's professionalism, fairness, and ability. The evaluation results help voters and the public understand a judge’s qualifications and conduct, promoting accountability and confidence in the judicial system.
